Cognition and incident dementia hospitalization: results from the atherosclerosis risk in communities study.

abstract：:The recognition that cognitive impairment of vascular origin is not limited to multi-infarct dementia has led to the development of several sets of new criteria for vascular dementia (VaD). We set out to define the spectrum of disease in patients presenting with vascular cognitive impairment (VCI). Of 412 patients con...
